a Secret Printed Years Ago.

Sioux City Special The death OF Elihu
Is. Washburne suggests a page OF history
which the Sioux City journal prints for
the first time. Mr.. Washburne was sp-
pointed secretary of state by Grant al a
temporary expedient. The tacit, if not ex-
pressed, understanding was that Mr..
Washburne should hold the secretary OF
state office, but not undertake, to
shape its policy, as it was the
OF Gen. Grant to tender the
place to James r. Wilson, now United
States senator from Iowa. Mr.. Wash.
burne was appointed, but contrary to Mr..
Wilson's expectations, began at once to
effect a permanent organization of the OF.
flee and to made foreign appointments.
Mr.. Wilsoa thereupon declined to consider
the subject further. Secretary Washburne
was soOD sent to France and Hamilton
Fish succeeded him in the cabinet. This
revelation comes from Senator Wilson.
